A good example of why there's big government. A few idiots
need constant babysitting.

This is all over the news in my home state of Maryland.

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland - Nearly 100 meat-eating fish native to China have been found in a Maryland pond where a pet owner dumped two of them in 2000, state officials said Friday amid concern that the fish will become a major threat to native species.



The northern snakehead can grow to be 3 feet (90 centimeters) long and has a voracious appetite.

The situation is of special concern to authorities because the Little Patuxent River is about 75 yards (meters) from the pond, and northern snakeheads can live three days out of water and even walk short distances on their fins in search of food.

"They can gain a foothold here and begin to proliferate in ways that would displace native organisms," said Eric Schwaab, director of the Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Service.

On Thursday, agency officials caught 99 young northern snakeheads by using an electroshock method that stuns them, causing them to float to the surface of the water.

You don't need big government to control idiocy, you just need to control the idiots themselves.

How long do you think it will take before the animal rights wackos protest the of these fish?

I heard they were beginning to stockpile detcord to go fishing with explosives :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

That's precisely what I would do though, just start killing every living thing
in the water for 50 miles in either direction and call it a day.

The United States would be alot cooler if it wasn't filled with irresponsible idiots. I bet Canada doesn't have this problem.

If this happened during the Clinton Administration, Clinton would introduce it to the entire East Coast, and make it illegal to kill one, at least it this fish is an endangered species.

You could move to the Middle East. The idiots over there tend to die very quickly.

As revenge, we should smuggle armadillos into China so they can ruin the ecosystem. And if the armadillos don't work, then ship them to Australia that way, we're guarentined a ruined ecosystem. :twisted:

The person who put those fish in the water is probably related to User099.

No we should send genetically modified Beavers that can build using concrete and steel. In a week every river in China will be damned and the flooding will lay waste to the countryside.

We'll also need to give them instructions on explosives, to take care of those pesky dikes.
